Jewell of the Ocean

The Captains and Crew of M/B Jewell of the Ocean thoughtfully selected their vessel’s name as a tribute to their identity of the town they call home in Oregon, U.S.A.

The dedicated crew of the Jewell of the Ocean is immersed in an intensive learning experience, where practical application is key to mastering essential nautical skills like map reading, analyzing wind and water currents, and predicting weather patterns. Beyond technical knowledge, their collaborative efforts in building the vessel are forging critical bonds of teamwork and communication necessary for life. Additionally, their interactions inherent in this shared endeavor expose the crew to different cultures and perspectives, ensuring they gain a well-rounded and deeply educational experience far exceeding the mere construction of their ship.

Students have been eagerly awaiting the start to their miniboat project, dedicating the past three years to preparation and hoping for the opportunity to finally launch one of their own vessel’s someday. Captains and crew mates are now immensely excited to dive right in, keen to absorb every possible lesson about ships, the ocean, and the incredible array of creatures that inhabit its depths. They are hoping that Jewell of the Ocean travels to and lands in Japan!

Stay tuned for updates as they develop!
